Building Automation Alliance Helps Facility Managers Locate Local Contractors

InsideIQ Building Automation Alliance, the international alliance of independent building automation contractors, has launched a website promoting the organization and its 47 independent member companies. The site, found at www.insideiq.org, provides detailed information about the organization, its members and their range of services that provide building owners and operators with a one-stop resource for enhancing their indoor environments.

“The InsideIQ website is a portal facility managers can use to locate an independent local contractor for their building environmental and security-system controls and service needs,” says Mark Balent, president of the alliance. “With locations across the United States, Canada, The Netherlands and Australia, InsideIQ member firms are experts in the design and implementation of facilities and process control systems, systems integration, enterprise security systems, facilities maintenance services, and energy services.”

Online, InsideIQ customers will find complete information about the Alliance’s leadership in technology, energy and service solutions, and its business-based approach that focuses on accelerating the customer’s ROI. A locator map enables building owners and operators to find the InsideIQ firm in their area, complete with full contact information and a link to the local company’s own Web site.

“While our member companies employ over 4,200 people and generate more than $1.1 billion in annual revenue, each one offers on-the-ground expertise in its local market,” Balent says. “Because InsideIQ companies are independent and manufacturer-agnostic, our members can make quick decisions that are driven by the customer’s needs, not a predetermined marketing agenda.”
